What's been said?
Speaking to the Echo, Smith said: “People are making out that I’m overlooking him but I’m from too good a family to overlook anyone. If I did that, they’d put me in my place. I’m never in a million years going to overlook Anthony Fowler, especially in the Arena in front of a big crowd. I’m confident in my own ability though, I’ll back myself against anyone, especially in Britain.”
Fowler, also speaking to the Echo, said: “It’s different because I’m more nervous for this fight than I am for the average fight, but that’s understandable. My way of looking at this is that it isn’t personal. We’re both scousers, both working hard, trying to achieve our dreams and looking after our families. It’s just business, it’s nothing personal on my part.”
